Electric Conductance Converter

About Electric Conductance Units

Electric conductance is a measure of how easily electricity flows through a material or circuit. It is the reciprocal of electrical resistance. The SI unit of electric conductance is the siemens (S), which is defined as the conductance of an element that has a resistance of one ohm.

Common Electric Conductance Units

• Siemens (S): The SI unit of electric conductance, equal to the reciprocal of one ohm.
• Millisiemens (mS): Equal to 0.001 siemens, commonly used in electronics.
• Microsiemens (μS): Equal to 0.000001 siemens, used for measuring low conductances.
• Mho (℧): An older unit of conductance, equivalent to the siemens. The name is "ohm" spelled backward.
• Abmho (ab℧): A CGS electromagnetic unit of conductance, equal to 10^9 siemens.
• Statmho (stat℧): A CGS electrostatic unit of conductance, approximately equal to 1.112 × 10^-12 siemens.

Applications of Electric Conductance Measurement
